Hyderabad, Jan 4: Vishwa Hindu Parishad international working President ParveenTogadia has been brought to notice for his communal speeches in his last December visit to Hyderabad.

A complaint was filed against him by in the 7th metropolitan magistrate by Advocate Ghulam Rabbani against the press conference of Praveen Togadia last December.

VHP president in his press conference on the issue of controversial Bhagya Lakshmi Mandir adjacent to Charminar threatened Muslims by saying that VHP will convert Hyderabad into Ayodhya if Hindus are not allowed to perform Puja (although Hindus were never stopped from doing so). He also said that VHP will teach Hyderabadi Muslims a lesson that they will never forget.

7th metropolitan magistrate accepted the complaint of Ghulam Rabbani and ordered him to record his statement on January 8. Ghulam Rabbani’s counsel Advocate Kahaled Saifullah has pleaded in the court that case under Section 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs) should be registered against Parveen Togadia.

In another development, Chaitanyapuri police station has registered a case against Praveen Togadia under 295A of IPC for his hate speech he had given in Chaitanyapuri while addressing a cadre meeting of VHP. Local police station has registered the case after receiving complaints from local residents of Chaitanyapuri.

Many such cases are registered against Togadia in Hyderabad, but police has never acted against him. In fact on his frequent visits to Hyderabad, he is being provided full police security from airport to his meeting points.

The controversial press conference he made on Bhagya Lakshmi Mandir during the tense and testing time of communal fragile Hyderabadwas done in the full security of police officials.

New Delhi, May 19: In a fresh blow to saffronite journalist Arnab Goswami, the Supreme Court of India today rejected his plea seeking transfer of the investigation of a case, filed against him for defaming Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi, to the CBI. The court also refused to quash the FIRs filed against him.

Goswami, editor-in-chief of Republic TV, has been booked in connection with a TV show on the gathering of migrants outside Bandra railway station on April 14. This apart, multiple FIRs have been filed against him for his show on Palghar lynching. In that show, he had posed certain questions on the incident to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, following which Congress workers lodged complaints against him in various states.

Extending Goswami’s interim protection from arrest by three weeks, the Supreme Court said, “Right of a journalist under 19 1 (a) higher…Free citizens can’t exist if news media can’t speak.”

During the earlier hearing, Senior Advocate Harish Salve, appearing for Goswami, had urged the court to transfer the probe to an agency like CBI. He said the “nature of the” second FIR against Goswami over a show on the migrant gathering outside Bandra station on April 14 “shows that it’s arm-twisting tactic”. 

“They are trying to stifle an unpleasant voice. This is a political party targeting a journalist. All complainants are members of one political party. They have a problem with the government. They want to teach this journalist a lesson,” he added.

Objecting to Salve’s plea to transfer the case to the CBI, Maharashtra government counsel, Senior Advocate Kapil Sibal, had said, “CBI investigation will go into your hands”. 

Sibal denied that Goswami was being harassed and said he was only asked relevant questions. He said Goswami should “stop this communal violence and communal mongering”.

May 30: A total of 513 domestic flights carrying 39,969 passengers were operated in India on Friday, Civil Aviation Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Saturday.

Domestic services resumed in India after a gap of two months due to the coronavirus lockdown. Indian carriers have operated a total of 1,827 flights till Thursday -- 428 on Monday, 445 on Tuesday, 460 on Wednesday and 494 on Thursday.

Puri said on Twitter on Saturday: "Day 5. 29th May till 2359 hrs. Departures 513. 39,969 passengers handled. Arrivals 512. 39,972 passengers handled." A departure is counted as a flight during the day.

During the pre-lockdown period, Indian airports handled around 3,000 daily domestic flights, aviation industry sources said.

In February, when the lockdown was not imposed, around 4.12 lakh passengers travelled daily through domestic flights in India, according to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) data.

Airports in West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Telangana and Tamil Nadu have been allowed to handle a restricted number of daily flights as these states do not want a huge influx of flyers amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases.

While domestic services resumed in Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, they restarted in West Bengal on Thursday.

Though domestic flight operations across the country began on May 25, they could not be restarted in Kolkata and Bagdogra as the West Bengal machinery was involved in relief and restoration work after cyclone Amphan's devastation.

A total of 16 asymptomatic passengers on seven different flights, including 13 who travelled by IndiGo, have tested positive for COVID-19 since the resumption of domestic air services.
